  This is nuts.  Sam Altman asked Scarlett Johansson to voice ChatGPT 4o and when she refused, OpenAI hired someone else to mimic her voice from “Her” only to take it down after she complained.  Wow.  🤯

• @carnage4life Dare Obasanjo on threads

  No plausible deniability with this one.

  Not that I think Apple is some bastion of ethics, but in my view, Apple would do well to cut loose of their recently-disclosed partnership with OpenAI.  What Sam and OpenAI management did here flies in the face of Apple's brand image if Apple wants to view it that way.  And of co…

• @kevinroose Kevin Roose on threads

  For a company that is usually so careful about PR, it's wild that OpenAI didn't anticipate that picking a fight with one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood (with a history of litigation!) would backfire.  What did they think would happen?

  Sam Altman's “Her” tweet was absolutely ridiculous and he should've never sent it.  This kind of unserious nonsense is only going to get the company in trouble.

  Sam Altman really just stole Scarlett J's voice and thought no one would notice? Amazing to see Uber 1.0's “Better to ask for forgiveness than permission” motto rolled out at AI scale. AI is in for a full scale reckoning...

  This statement was provided exclusively to NPR by Johansson's publicist, Marcel Pariseau.

• @bobbyallyn Bobby Allyn on x

  @sama To clarify a few things about the letters from ScarJo's lawyers: They weren't cease and desist notices. It's not initiating a lawsuit. The letters sought clarity about what exactly was fed to the model to produce the distinctive “Sky” voice.

  Now whenever a reporter or politician is trying to point out the IP issues of AI they can say “Sam stole ScarJo's voice even after she denied consent.” It's a much easier story to sell to the general public and members of Congress.

• @benjysarlin Benjy Sarlin on x

  Well I'm sure the AI company accused of stealing a famous actress' voice and sticking it in a sexy robot after she refused a deal will be meticulous about making sure our articles, photos, music, and videos don't get mixed up without compensation

• @adamconover Adam Conover on x

  The fact that Altman tried to rip off the most famous and powerful actress in Hollywood proves that he's straight up stupid. If “AI” companies don't want to be accused of stealing artists' work and likenesses, they should start by not stealing artists' work and likenesses.

  The creepiness of clearly imitating ScarJo's voice, after she met with OpenAI and said no thanks, combined with how it felt sort of flirty in the demo videos, is kind of what bothers me more than the IP stuff.  But also reminds me of the old FB days when it was releasing products…

• @caspiancey H.E. Cas Piancey on x

  What the fuck did Sam Altman think would happen after he asked for permission and Scarlett Johansson said “No” and then he ignored her? That it would be laughed about and everyone would move on? Is he a fucking moron?

• @minimaxir Max Woolf on x

  ScarJo may not have standing, depending on the contract (I suspect hers is much different than typical VA). It might have to be Annapurna Pictures that sues OpenAI instead.

• @shiringhaffary Shirin Ghaffary on x

• @loudmouthjulia Julia Alexander on x

  Concerning thing is upon being told no, OpenAI weighed the potential consequence of a prolific artist speaking out against the potential benefit of showing off a piece of technology fetching tens of billions in valuation, knowing where its backers would stand, and went “we win.”

• @brianschatz Brian Schatz on x

  Alarming that an AI company just seems to have gone ahead and lifted a voice of an actual person without permission or compensation. The impunity is even more worrisome for performers who aren't already popular. The right to one's own image and voice must be protected.

• @profnoahgian Noah Giansiracusa on x

  This is absolutely appalling. Between this and the recent NDA scandal, I think there's enough cause for Altman to step down from his leadership role at OpenAI. The world needs a stronger moral compass at the helm of such an influential AI organization.

  Objectively, the voice doesn't sound anything like her. Sorry. Not even close. It's a baritone female, that's about it. No vocal fry and a flatter accent. Silly all around.

• @pkafka Peter Kafka on x

  Seems like she is saying the CEO of OpenAI is not consistently candid.

• @minimaxir Max Woolf on x

  One interesting legal caveat is that the Sky voice isn't “ScarJo”, it's ScarJo as acted in the movie Her. An issue with VAs having their voice stolen by AI models is that they have no legal standing because their performance is owned by their client, and therefore no ownership.

• @fmanjoo Farhad Manjoo on x

  seems like a really dumb own goal for openai. your company's biggest non-technical challenge is how you'll be received by human creators and treated under IP law designed to protect them. Why throw away any goodwill with Hollywood and publishing and media and etc for a voice?

  Skygate thoughts: 1. Shady as it is, not actually misuse of digital likeness. Just old fashioned subterfuge 2. This is a big, perhaps irrecoverable, blow to Altman's credibility (if it's true) 3. Calls into question gov penchant for having industry leaders on AI policy panels

• @davetroy Dave Troy on x
